At the start of this work no prior comprehensive diagnostic work had been carried out and there was no dialogue on PFM between Government and development partners. The objective of this report is to provide the first comprehensive assessment of Myanmar's PFM system, based on the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) PFM Performance Measurement Framework. The report aims to: (i) establish an objective baseline measure of current PFM conditions, highlighting areas of absolute and relative strength and weakness; and (ii) suggest priority areas for reform, taking into account the need to approach a reform program in a sequenced manner based on institutional capacity and the reform space. The assessment, and the associated dialogue, provides support to the Government in setting reform priorities. Show Less -
